Today' s concert was given by Ghost Woman. A Canadian band that have a very laid back and a bit psychedelic sound on some songs, yet a more rock sound on others.

It was in an even smaller venue "La Salvaje", that programs gigs every week, and will be one of my main sources of live performances. Again few people, about 25, and the band at hand's reach.

The drummer performance brought to me some of the same impressions as of yesterday. Again just a 3 piece kit wit a ride and HH as only cymbals. Again much more playing on the ride than on the HH. A lot of snare+floor tom grooves. Some songs did just have an eventual debbie, and one song did not even have that or any crash at all. The more rock sounding songs were faster, with more snare work and some rack tom. One beat was just two kicks two double handed notes on snare followed by the same on the rack tom.

I liked the sound of the drums better than yesterday. Very well balanced, thumping, round an deep. The ride more clearly audible.

Totally different music styles, something in common: groove. I came out more determined to make groove my main practice track.
